Starting out with a genre I'm historically not a big fan of. Veggies first!
Overall a solid album, but reggae remains not my jam. Favorite songs are No More Trouble, 400 Years, Kinky Reggae
I'm more of a Closer guy but still what a fucking great album.
It's good, just didn't grab me
If half stars were a thing on here it would be 4.5 stars. Putting two skits back to back is diabolical sequencing.
Very close to giving this my first perfect score but it sags around the middle. But geniuses are allowed to be self indulgent as their figuring out their genius.
Excellent psychedelic rock. Very good stuff.
Perfect album. A brilliant song cycle in 35 minutes where every song stands on its own while also strengthening each song before and after it.
My parents used to sing the end medley (or just Golden Slumbers and Carry That Weight if they didn't have the energy) as a lullaby when I was small so this was always gonna be a five star album. The first best band's final album and they knocked it out of the park.
Very solid roots country album. Would give 3.5 stars if I could
Classic flaming lips, it's nice going back to an album you know backwards and forwards
This shit sucks. Sanded down jazz pop with the most annoying parts elevated. Played well and technically it sounds good so I can't give it 1 star. Catchy enough that this crap is gonna be stuck in my head. Fuck Steely Dan.
After suffering through Can't Buy a Thrill this was a breath of fresh air
So friggin good. John Cale knows how to produce sounds I like
Totally fine and I imagine if I heard it in 1976 it would have been electrifying but having heard so much that has built on this foundation I just didn't get a ton out of it.
The Boss at the peak of his powers as a writer.
Tom Waits is one of my guys, and this is a great album that acts as a transition to his period where he puts out several masterpieces. Will go to the grave happy I heard "On The Nickel" in concert.
I wish I could give this 4.5 stars. It's so good. Foundational record.
What a great album. As seen by the stuff they made without her, Kim Deal is the key to good Pixies songs.
Amazing songs and a great performance but it's better as a historical document than as an album.
Good but over stuffed. This didn't need to be 54 minutes long. Cut "You're Crazy" and "Anything Goes" and move "Out ta Get Me" between "Sweet Child o Mine" and "Rocket Queen" so there aren't two 6 minute long tracks back to back and this goes up a star.
Nick Cave and Co kicking ass across a double album, hell baby damn yes!
It's Monk Time!
East Bay Ray one of the best guitarists of all time
The reason why Suite For 20 G is named that is hilarious. Props to Taylor doing what he had to to get paid
The best nap I've ever had was in the backseat of a car driving into NYC while this played on headphones and if that sounds like a bad review then you haven't had a nap that good. Sliding in and out of consciousness while Cave plays piano and croons and buildings tower above you is a perfect experience.
